Branches of Darkmeyer


RuneScape Quest Branches of Darkmeyer

Requirements: 76 Woodcutting, 70 Fletching, 70 Magic, 67 Slayer, 64 Crafting, 63 Farming, 63 AgilityLegacy of SeergazeLegends' Quest.
It is a dark time for the Myreque. Vanstrom Klause has been tasked with wiping them off the face of RuneScape, and he is taking his job very, very seriously. Supply routes have been cut, innocents killed and some have even seen Vanstrom himself on the outskirts of Burgh de Rott.
There’s no more time to waste. An unexpected informant will lead you into the city of Darkmeyer, home to the vampyres, where you will hunt for the fabled Blisterwood Tree. Feared by the vampyres who have spent centuries trying to kill it, the immortal tree has plagued Lord Drakan to such an extent that he has simply built a vault around it. Now is your time to access that vault, make weapons from the tree and take the fight to the vampyres, and more specifically Vanstrom.
Cast any fears you have to the winds as you explore the huge area of Darkmeyer, gaining enough status to be recognised as a vyrelord, and shedding vampire blood in our latest master quest. Come out alive, and you’ll get access to new vampire-beating equipment and an item that can teleport you across Morytania, including the Barrows.

RuneHQ not the biggest or largest Runescape website

Instead, the champion (the largest Runescape website) is of course Zybez Runescape Help. It is also the most original and the most popular. It always has been. It's just the way things are, and just the way things will stay. We (RuneHQ) will always stay the way we are: copying everything that Zybez does (and trying to copy other ideas we see on the Internets). Sometimes we fear that Zybez will do something stupid just to mess with us, and we'll copy it, and then they'll laugh. ... because they can afford to lose a few visitors. We can't. Just look at at the active users online on our forums. It's a huge difference between ours and Zybez Runescape Community. In fact, it is an insult to compare.

Who is in a close 2nd place? Well, it's actually a blog that few people know about called Runescape Tips, also known as tippit.

Tip.it got back-stabbed

We at the RuneHQ heard that the 3rd Runescape website online ever got back-stabbed by somebody that was leaving. Here is a clipping:

Dear Tip.It members,

I'm happy to announce that the forum is up, but I also have sad news. We lost 2 and half months worth of posts. Of course you will ask why and how this happened. Unfortunately one of our own staff, an ex tech admin who maintained the forum for a number of years, backstabbed us as his goodbye act. He used his inside technical knowledge to hurt us. Tip.It has lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars that I will have to cover, but what is more important is the loss of 2 and half months of creativity from our community: ideas, guides, jokes, links and much more. We worked hard to recover whatever was possible and for this we can thank Neminon and especially can thank Marshalrusty who spent sleepless nights and a ton of his free time to bring the forums back. His help was priceless.

A positive thing is that we are restarting with better, faster forum software PhpBB 3 that is complete with an all new engine to make your visits here more user friendly, and also gives us better tools to manage and maintain this really very BIG board.

This community has grown over the years to hundreds of thousands of people visiting our Tip.It web site and forums and sharing the way Tip.it was born to be, an independent and open site where we grow to respect each other in a friendly, helpful and FUN atmosphere.

There are over 60 active staff members who every day voluntarily try to help you, by creating web content and keeping this board up and running. Please understand this loss and have a little patience so that we all keep this community better than ever.

Thank you,
Silverion
On behalf of the Tip.It staff


Take THAT tipit ! You don't even have a real domain. What sort of lame-ass domain is "tip.it". Sounds like "dip.it"... or "tip it over" or even "dip shit" if you stretch your imagination a little. Speaking of imagination, we're thinking of copying Zybez Radio. Oh wait, a little bird tells me we already have!

Last week we decided we want to copy Zybez's ticker bar

Since we've already copied Zybez Runescape Help's price categories, and pretty much everything else ('RuneKit', Site skins, etc) , we decided it's about time we copied the ticker bar.

And ... just to make it fun, after copy-pasting it, all we'll do is CENTER it. hahahaha... that's the ONLY change we'll make to it! It'll make "headlines" (pun intended) on the Internets: "RuneHQ copies Zybez's ticker"

Good thing there are no patents and copyright laws on the Internet.
